The spotlight of the month goes to Andrew Langley et al. at Tufts University, USA, for their impressive work in leveraging photoacoustic imaging for real-time monitoring of phototherapy. Photoacoustic imaging is 3D, non-ionizing and non-invasive imaging method, based on optical absorption that creates pressure waves detected by ultrasound transducer.

Gokalp et al. from University of Massachusetts and Tufts University constructed an innovative liquid metal nanoparticle platform, which has tumor cell targeting and enhanced encapsulation of verteporfin. Charactierization in vitro with the help of ML6600 laser showed effective in vitro phototoxicity.

Motivation for the study Tissue engineering is an evolving field of medicine that aims to grow new viable tissue for repairing or regenerating damaged tissues in the body. These tissue constructs are typically made by placing cells in support matrices that have proper growth-inducing factors. However, visualizing the development and composition of these tissue

Motivation for the study Polyps are small growths on the inner lining of the colon or rectum, affecting around 1 in 4 people over the age of 50. Certain types of polyps may eventually become cancerous, and colon cancer prevention relies on colonoscopy using white light to detect and remove the polyps. However, small and
